Thanks for saving my career...

Atty. Cherry was a God sent recommendation from a friend at a very difficult time in my life recently. I was wrongly terminated from a job that I loved and gave my all to perform at the highest levels in my industry. When notified of the termination, I was devastated, confused and was not sure of wha...t recourse to take. Although I live in another state, a friend recommended Ms. Cherry so I made contact with her. Upon reviewing my situation, she quickly eased my mind, while assuring me that she would fight this large company on my behalf. Once she was retained, she took immediate action, informing the company's lawyers that we were disputing allegations and I needed to be compensated for my services to the company. I was very pleased with the final outcome, as she fought this company to have my name cleared and negotiated a settlement that I could fell good about. With my mind clear, I quickly was hired by a competitor and my life back to normal. My old company started contacting my new employer claiming I was recruiting. This was of course making me uncomfortable. Ms.Cherry quickly contact them and demanded that these actions cease. I have not heard from them again. Thank you so much for restoring my faith in the system. Your dedication to your client is beyond reproach. You are decisive, a great communicator and most of all very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend you.
